Metrsideros, I am familiar with three of the plants you posted on the last thread but had to research the Macrozamia miquelii. The picture was so good of the Epidendrum, it wasn't until I googled it, that I realized that I had that one already. Picture posted above.

Good old reliable double Rangoon Creeper

Cool snake! Looks like the garden is happy.
It sure was hot today, and the mosquitoes are hungry!

My little tree fern is still growing on the rock, and getting bigger. Going to have to take it off the rock pretty soon.

Rj, It is good to see Mama Fern looking so good.
I think that plant with the red fuzzy bloom is a Chanille plant. "Red hot cat's tail"
I love the Chocolate plant. Please save me a few seeds.

This is a variegated Lace Cap Hydrangea, usually I would just enjoy the foliage but this year they are covered in blooms.

Ritam we have a red floss bloom, and as soon as my sons stuff is done on an upload I will post it. I have brug buds everywhere! YAY!! Love that Philo.Xanadu Gold.
Question: My African Mask has another yellow spot. Should I cut it all off, change the soil, and repot it and let it regrow?

Joeswife, thanks, I would enjoy seeing your blooms whenever you get the time to post them. I know that you are very busy.
I have never been able to keep the African Mask alive, hopefully someone will chime in with a few tips for you.

Have a very good day off tomorrow

This Abutilon is full of blooms but at 8 ft it is gangly.

More great photos!

That dragonfly is pretty cool.

Randy's Poinsettia relative is Euphorbia cyathophora.

Here's my 1st Hoya shot.

Beautiful pictures everyone and welcome lovetropics. I have enjoyed viewing your pictures from Scottsdale.

Debra, is it just one leaf on your african mask plant with yellowing? If so then perhaps it is just an older leaf about to die off. I do know that this particular Alocasia is quite picky when it comes to watering. It is definitely one that has to have very quick draining soil and absolutely will not tolerate soggy/wet soil for an extended period of time. Mine does best by allowing the soil to dry out quite a bit before I water it again. I hope this helps.

Rita, the bloom color on your H.'Erin Rachel' is gorgeous and I as well think the photo of that dragonfly is spectacular. Great shot.

This is another Alocasia that TrueTropical77 sent to me and I can not remember which one he said it was. Rita if you recognize it would you rattle my memory. The back side of the leaves are dark purple.
